The
police in Kano on Tuesday vowed to arrest those behind the murder of a
newly-wed bride in Sha’iskawa village of Danbatta Local Government Area of the
state.
The
Public Relations Officer of the state Police Command, Magaji Majiya, told the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the command had already commenced
investigation into the incident with a view to arresting perpetrators of the
dastardly act.
He
did not release the name of the victim.
“After
we received the report of the incident around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, the Crime
Investigation Department swung into action.
“As
the Police reported to the scene, they found that the late bride was raped
before she was stabbed to death in her matrimonial room.
“We
have so far launched an investigation into the incident and that will lead us
to the arrest of the assailants,” Majiya said.
He,
however, said that the command had yet to make any arrests, but that the knife
used in killing the woman had been recovered.
He
reminded members of the public on the need to always be security conscious.
NAN
recalls that the victim was stabbed to death on Saturday night in her room few
days after her wedding and the husband returned to Abuja where he runs his
business.
NAN
also recalls that a similar incident happened last year when a teen bride was
reportedly raped and slaughtered by hoodlums at Bachirawa quarters in Kano
metropolis.
